Background: Nipple areola complex reconstruction is often the last procedure offered to patients undergoing breast reconstruction. Although comparatively minor, this final step creates the focal point of the breast while signifying the end of an often long and difficult journey for patient and surgeon. The literature demonstrates that nipple areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction conveys a positive impact on overall body image while defining the final aesthetic outcome.

Introduction: The inverted nipple is a condition that affects approximately 10% of women and can have negative cosmetic and psychological implications. Surgical correction is a common approach to address this concern; however, this method can lead to complications, such as nipple necrosis. As comprehensive guidelines are currently lacking for postoperative nipple necrosis management, this study reports our experience in the management of postoperative nipple necrosis following initial attempt at surgical management.

Background: Nipple areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction often signifies completion of the breast reconstruction process for some patients and has been shown to improve both psychosocial and sexual well-being.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of NAC reconstructions over the last decade was queried for patient demographics, operative technique, and postoperative outcomes.
